### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Perfect for Kids Running Class!
  

*by K***G on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2014*

I ordered this book for a kids' running class. This was best for age groups 2nd to 8th grade. It has beautiful illustrations and a map on the inside cover that helps to understand how big Persia is in comparison to Athens, Greece, as well as to see the distances that Pheidippedes ran. In the back few pages, the author explains how she researched for the book. She even explains what a legend is. In the past, I have just told this story. This year, the story came to life for the kids thanks to this book. I highly recommend this book for interest in running, legends, or history.

    Love This Classic Tale
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2011*

Got to say I love this book.  The artwork is bright and cheerful and kid-friendly, and Susan Reynolds does a great job of retelling the classic tale of the Greek runner, Pheidippides.I'm reading it with my kids (currently 8 and 10) to fill out our studies of ancient Greece.  And I particularly like the pains with which the Mr. Minter went to make sure that the 'costumes' and settings were correct.  I also just love how Ms. Reynolds takes the sad ending -- Pheidippes sort of overdoes the running -- and turns it into a positive by showing that the man is still honored today, thousands of years later with the modern Marathons that take place all over the world.Pam T~mom/blogger/ancient history lover
